I vote for the newspaper theme, there is a ton of media parody discussed in this thread, it can all be lumped together

i love the idea of mashing the newsmedia stuff together into a melange of print, tv, twitter, old timey neesreel—w/e can be made recognizable and fun/usable. if/when there is a stylesheet selector, that style should be called Fake News, imo

Make usernames read �This post has been funded in whole or in part by Squizzle� and I�m still pro making Avs look like ads.

Sponsored by (username) below the avatar like Twitter could be good, but having the username be the byline makes more sense for newspaper theme

The bbcode parsing code that I'd need to change to do "sources close to [user] posted:" is a loving mess but that's funny, I'll try.

before you waste a bunch of time trying to do this on the backend, please be informed that you can do this with css

you can use the :before and :after selectors with the "content" property to put text before or after elements

CSS code:

.postbody a.quote_link:before {
    content: "Sources close to ";
}

There are a ton of proposed backgrounds, maybe you guys could vote on them and then the mods could ignore the vote and pick their favorite?

I�m not sure which one would go with the media theme...

Trump burger feast is a great background but then it wouldn�t look like a newspaper anymore

Unless it was only behind the thread titles, and not the overall background? Then it would like like a picture in a newspaper

Ahh perfect, thank you. I was shuddering at the abstraction-breaking required to make bbcode parsing per-forum.

if you do a background image stylesheet, is it possible for a mod to manually change the image on a regular basis or is this an admin thing

i like the idea of just changing the background image like every month or whatever instead of being stuck on just one image, but that process would be a pain in the rear end if it's not a mod that can just do that

While this is funny it'd probably piss off a lot of people and get old pretty fast.
